Phil's Scenic Photos

These are some senic photos that I have taken at various times. They don't really fit into any of the previous sections. They are here mainly because I think they look good.

Mount Taranaki (Egmont) overlooks the rich farming area of the Taranaki Provence in the North island. In the foregrpound is the New Plymouth Observatory. Mt Taranaki is a typical andesitic volcanic cone over 8,000 feet (2400meters) which last erupted over 200 year ago. This photo was reproduced from a postcard.

The next three photos were taken in November 1997 in the northern part of the South Island, New Zealand.

This is the Cob Cottage, an old historic cottage which is now a historic building. The Cob Cottage is located on the State Highway One just south of Blenheim, in northern Marlbourgh. This is typical of how early pioneer settlers lived in New Zealand last century.

This is the windmill next to a 7/10th scale model of the Blenheim Railway Station. A local model railway society runs a large miniture railway sustem with about 6 kilometres of track. The windmill is about 20 metres high.

This is a shot of the western margin of Tasman Bay, which is in the northern South Island, near Nelson. The current shot is looking north. The location is about 10km north of Motueka.

This is a shot of a seal basking in the sun at the seal colony at Red Rocks, on the southern coast of Wellington, New Zealand.
